Hi,
- From what I have understood Unbound has edns0 enabled by default and
only disables it if the upstream nameserver doesn't support it.
However I think it's disabled between local apps (this is probably
wrong way to say it, but I hope you understand) and Unbound, because
there is no "options edns0" in /etc/resolv.conf and user cannot enable
it manually as dnssec-trigger overwrites it and even does chattr -/+i
by itself.
I think it being disabled could break DNSSEC validation for some apps
that do it by themselves, e.g. ssh (when verifying SSHFP records on
DNSSEC-signed zone).
man resolv.conf says:
```
options
Options allows certain internal resolver variables to
be modi‐ fied. The syntax is
options option ...
where option is one of the following:
<snip>
edns0 (since glibc 2.6)
Sets RES_USE_EDNSO in _res.options. This enables
support for the DNS extensions described in RFC 2671.
```
I originally reported this at Launchpad against the Ubuntu package
<https://pad.lv/1534107>, but I think this should be fixed upstream if
this is an issue (and I think it is).
PS. Sorry if I am wrong about this, but please let me know.
